For New York City mothers looking to indulge themselves in a little more high-octane beauty treatment than a massage and facial, Med Spas offer a deluxe menu of services to beautify, lift, and tone those areas that could be just a little bit better. JustMelt Med Spa in NYC offers nonsurgical procedures under qualified supervision to give moms the look they want. Some of the treatments include skin tightening, weight loss, and body contouring.

Skin tightening treatments for the face and body may use laser or ultrasound to minimize sagging jaw lines and cheeks, reduce fine lines and wrinkles, and contour the body. The major benefit to these treatments is that they are nonsurgical, can be done in less than two hours with little to no recovery time, and most show immediate improvement. Some even continue to work over time!

Thermage™ is a laser skin tightening treatment and requires virtually no recovery time. The procedure is done using a special hand device which delivers a radio frequency laser application with mild heat in conjunction with a special cooling spray. This helps production of new collagen for a fresher, more youthful appearance. Although results vary, most clients see an improved appearance right away. Benefits of Thermage™ are tightened skin, smoother texture, and reduction of crepiness. Thermage™ may be used for body contouring as well, refining trouble spots such as the tummy, buttocks, and cellulite patches.

Another type of treatment is Ulthera® which uses an ultrasound treatment to tighten loose facial skin. During this treatment a hand device/wand and a gel is used much like in other types of ultrasounds, and a topical anesthetic may also be used to reduce any sensitivity to the treatment. Again with this treatment there is virtually no recovery time, results are usually immediate, and then continue over a period of time. Initially there may be mild redness, swelling, or tingling but this is normal and will go away in a few hours.

Weight loss treatments include the HCG Weight Loss Diet. HCG is a hormone produced during pregnancy which controls the mother’s metabolic rate. A synthetic version of this hormone is administered via injection and used in conjunction with a “Very Low Calorie Diet” (VCLD) for dramatic results. NYC clients can lose up to a pound a day or 30 pounds in a month.

Body contouring treatments help with those problem areas which do not respond as desired to diet and exercise. Some of these treatments include Coolsculpting®, Lipomassage®, and Zerona®. Coolsculpting freezes fat cells which then crystallize and are eliminated naturally through the body’s waste. Coolsculpting uses a vacuum-like device on the skin and is cool to the touch. Results are usually seen in 2-6 months. Lipomassage is another procedure to eliminate stubborn fatty areas and requires minimal pre and post care. This procedure uses a combination of rollers and vacuum to eliminate fat cells. The treatments take approximately 35 minutes each. Results can be seen in as little as 6 treatments. Zerona uses a cold laser to eliminate fat. The client lays under the special Zerona lights for a 40 minute treatment which is done up to 3 times a week for best results. Results may be seen after 4-6 treatments for NYC clients who had body contouring treatments.

CoolSculpting is a non-invasive treatment offered by JustMelt in NYC, used to reduce fat by using a cooling technology to target the fat cells and reduce the fat layer. CoolSculpting can produce incredible results, but there are a few things you should keep in mind:

Maintain a healthy lifestyle. While CoolSculpting tones and defines the body, it’s important to maintain a healthy lifestyle to guarantee long-lasting results. Most people decide to get CoolSculpting treatment after first trying to lose weight through dieting and exercise, which should continue post treatment.

The second time may be the charm. One treatment results in a 20-25% fat reduction, and each treatment after results in about the same amount of reduction. Therefore, some people find that two treatments provide the greatest results.

Comfort. The treatment can be uncomfortable for the first 5-10 minutes, while the vacuum is grabbing the skin and fat. Many people find that the remainder of the treatment is not bothersome and they are able to relax.

Recovery time. You may experience minor soreness and tingling (much like the feeling after a difficult workout) for a few days following the treatment. This discomfort will subside and should not affect your ability to go about your regular day.

16 Apr 14JustMeltBlogComments Off on Ulthera for skin tightening: Have you gotten it yet?

Ulthera is a non-surgical, non-invasive procedure that lifts, tightens and tones the skin for our clients in NYC area. It requires no anesthetic or sedation, but local-anesthesia is recommended.

Ulthera uses the safe, time-tested energy of ultrasound to heat the deep layers of the skin to promote collagen production. The heat generated from the ultrasound frequency causes damage to the collagen layers, and therefore promotes the production of new collagen.

Ulthera is considered to be an excellent alternative to a facelift for people who have mild to moderate laxity. It is skin color independent and does not affect the epidermis, so patients (skin types I-VI) may be treated year round without any pre or post-test skin requirements. It’s completed in as short as 60 minutes, with little to no downtime. Many NYC patients experience immediate results with Ulthera, and continue to see results within 60-90 days.

If you’re looking for a brow/face lift, without the surgery, ulthera is the answer for you. So what are you waiting for? Be naturally, beautiful with Justmelt’s expertise.

Are you the friend that’s always ordering a salad at lunch? Do you go to the gym every day, but never seem to see any results when it comes to your weight loss? No matter what you do, you just can’t seem to get rid of that stubborn belly fat. Well, how does a quick non-invasive solution sound to you? CoolSculpt removes stubborn fat deposits that exercise and dieting just can’t.

CoolSculpt is a FDA-approved technology that freezes (yes freezes!) unwanted fat. The best part about it is that it takes just as long as your daily gym workout routine. CoolSculpt can be applied to the stomach area, thighs, arms and legs. In as little as 3 weeks, you will begin to see a difference. Certain areas may take a little longer, however, on average you can expect to see results within 3 weeks.

Women who have had CoolSculpt treatment feel a boost in their self-confidence and overall mood. If plastic surgery just isn’t in your vocabulary, CoolSculpt is an incredible option for you.

How long your Ulthera treatment lasts depends on how your body responds to collagen stimulation. Unfortunately, aging never stops. Therefore, there is a continuous cycle of the breakdown of collagen and collagen generation.

Ulthera uses the safe energy of ultrasound to stimulate the deep structural support layers of the skin. As a result of the deep structural level targeted, the procedure tends to last about 1-3 years. However, the aging process does not stop, and you can’t prevent collagen breakdown.

You can expect to repeat your Ulthera treatment every 1-3 years. Touch-up treatments may also assist with the aging process. The greatest thing about Ulthera is that it continually stimulates collagen production. In addition to the immediate results, you will notice results over time as new, more elastic collagen is produced.

To schedule your Ulthera consultation in our NYC clinic, please call us at 212-447-1155 to speak to our friendly staff who can help you answer any questions you may have about Ulthera treatment.

20 Mar 14geneBlogComments Off on What’s Different about Ulthera for skin tightening?

Does the thought of facelift surgery make you squirm a little? The needles, the anesthesia, the blood, and the extended recovery make many people uncomfortable. If you’re afraid of surgery, you may be thinking that there’s no other way to improve your facial appearance and make you look younger.

It’s time to rethink your options. A new kind of treatment, Ulthera, is a non-invasive therapy that uses harmless ultrasound waves to lift and tighten the skin on your face and neck. The energy from the ultrasound is able to stimulate the collagen in your skin and provide remarkable results without surgery.

What makes Ulthera different from the other cosmetic treatments available today? Here are three answers.

1. Ulthera is able to work on the deep foundations of your skin without making a single cut. Those deeper layers of skin are where plastic surgeons focus their efforts during facelift surgeries. With Ulthera, they are able to apply treatment on the outside, but penetrate the energy deep into the collagen-containing tissues.

2. Ulthera doesn’t use knives or lasers. With Ulthera, your doctor is able to use the ultrasound to see and treat those deep layers of skin without cutting or applying massive amounts of heat. The ultrasound technology allows the doctor to visually target certain areas and initiate the collagen-building process that will tone and tighten the skin.

3. Ulthera is an extremely fast procedure that requires no downtime. The ultrasound therapy can be done in as little as one hour. Since the process is non-invasive, there’s no need for a recovery. You can resume your normal activities immediately.

If you’re not ready for facelift surgery, that’s okay. With Ulthera you can get an “uplift” that can take years off your face. It’s a natural process that can be completed over the lunch hour. No need for surgery, no need for downtime.

20 Mar 14geneBlogComments Off on CoolSculpting: The Non-Invasive Way to Beat the Bulge

If you have fat bulges that just won’t go away, you’re probably feeling frustrated and defeated. You’ve tried everything—new workouts, new diets, new pills, new clothes—but nothing works. You may even be considering liposuction or another type of plastic surgery to correct your trouble spots.

Here’s some good news—getting rid of those unsightly bulges doesn’t have to involve such drastic measures. With the new technology of CoolSculpting, you can transform your body with no more than 60 minutes of downtime—no surgery or recovery necessary in NYC!

CoolSculpting is a breakthrough treatment that was developed by scientists at Harvard. Plus, it’s been cleared by the FDA. The technology is based on the simple premise of freezing fat cells and leaving the other, healthy cells intact. In the weeks following treatment, the frozen cells die off and your body naturally eliminates the dead fat cells. You can see some results as soon as three weeks after treatment and the final, permanent results are visible just a few months later.

Going to the gym and eating right are important, but unfortunately, those healthy habits can’t take care of everything. For those troublesome fat bulges on your stomach area, thighs, arms, or legs, CoolSculpting could be just the right answer. It’s the perfect way to lose inches and boost your confidence at the same time!

12 Jan 14JustMeltBlogComments Off on 5 Reasons Why JustMelt Med Spa Is Just What You Need!

The thought of undergoing a surgical procedure may not be ideal for many people. The thought of being operated on, the cost, the downtime and/or the recovery process might be making surgical options, not an option. For others, signs of age may be appearing sooner in life, making them feel they aren’t quite ready yet for a surgical procedure. Whatever the reasons may be, JustMelt recognizes the need for non-surgical options for fat and cellulite reduction, riding wrinkles and fine lines, and skin tightening. All of JustMelt’s procedures offer an affordable solution with zero downtime or discomfort.

2.) You want results-quickly

Dieting and exercise can be time consuming or may simply not be working to rid tough problem areas. For many of us, issues such as cellulite won’t go away no matter how many hours we spend on a treadmill. JustMelt offers the proven to work HCG Diet with our professional team monitoring your results every step of the way. Other services such as CoolSculpting can reduce your area’s fat circumference by up to 30% with just one treatment!

3.) You can’t take time off of work

Scheduling a surgery means taking time off of work or out of your daily routine. Downtime and recovery time are also needed post-surgery. With non-surgical options, such as Zerona fat melting laser, the treatment can be done on your lunch break-and usual activities can be resumed directly post treatment.

4.) You’re tired of treatments that don’t work

JustMelt is dedicated to offering our patients top of the line treatments that are proven to work. Results from our treatments and diets are real- with before and after photos of our clients available to view. As the weight-loss industry has become crowded with products and services that don’t work-JustMelt prides itself on knowing they will fulfill their client’s needs.

5.) You are ready to re-gain your confidence

We all have problem areas that we obsess over, yet many of us don’t take the actions needed to correct them. JustMelt is simply asking you to stop in for a consultation to learn about your non-surgical treatment options. With treatments such as ours, there is no longer an excuse to let your problem areas continue any longer!

It’s now officially 2014, and although your resolution may have been to lose weight-how are you getting started? Justmelt in NYC offers the HCG Diet to our clients to get them to their goal weight quicker and more effectively. This year, make sure your resolution doesn’t get left behind!

The first step is taking your weight loss goal seriously. The toughest part is getting started. Finding the right program can be the most difficult part for those wanting to slim down. Today we are bombarded with weight loss programs and diet plans-with many of them bringing little success. A weight loss plan that is proven to work and that has shown real results in mass numbers is what the HCG Diet offers. The HCG Diet has given over 100,000 people the weight loss results they desire.

Choose the right doctor to track your results. Justmelt and Dr. Jacquie Smiles offer the HCG Diet, giving you the supervision you need to be successful with this safe and effective method for weight loss. Respected healthcare figures, such as Dr. Oz, stand by the HCG Diet because of the unique fat burning properties and post-weight loss maintenance this program offers.

Take the time to research your weight loss plan. HCG stands for Human Chorionic Gonadotropin, a natural hormone produced during pregnancy. The HCG Diet uses this hormone to trick your body into a pregnancy state-wherein your body enters into a hyper fat burning state. Responsible for this phenomenon is the fat burning properties of HCG.

Patients typically lose 1-2 pounds per day while increasing their energy and reducing their appetite. Patients who use the HCG Diet also report success in keeping the weight off; and all while feeling well.

How many times do we make the same New Year’s resolution over-and-over again? For much of the population, the goal of finally getting the body you want is the focus every January 1st. Then, by February, they are discouraged and we decide to try again next year. Well, whether you want to fit back into those favorite jeans again, or if you want the body you have never been able to achieve, Justmelt® can help make it happen.

Disclaimer: Results may vary

Justmelt® offers a myriad of nonsurgical procedures that can help you transform your body. It doesn’t matter if your New Year’s resolution is to lose 50 pounds or to simply tone those trouble spots (so you don’t have to make excuses not to attend pool parties anymore), Justmelt® has services that can finally give you results.

HCG Diet – Losing weight shouldn’t have to be so hard. Have you ever noticed some people that go on a diet drop a pant size instantly? Meanwhile, you’re living on drab food, exercising, and barely seeing the scale move… The HCG Diet may be exactly what you need. It puts your body in a hyper fat burning state, so that while you consume fewer calories, your body will be turning fat into energy.

Zerona – Would you like to lose inches without starving yourself or spending hours every day in the gym? With Zerona, you can achieve your resolution goals in a much easier way. A fat melting laser does all the hard work for you. Walking merely 30 minutes a day is all that is recommended to ensure great results.

CoolSculpting – Forget the pain and expense associated with liposuction. CoolSculpting is a nonsurgical technology that freezes away fat in target areas, so you can essentially “sculpt” your body the way you want it to be. No downtime and no surgery make this treatment one of our most popular.

Cyber Body Slim – The Triangular Oscillation System firms your body by generating muscle contractions. Only 10 minutes of Cyber Body Slip is equivalent to a full hour of an intense workout in the gym.

Lipomassage – If you have tried every exercise and miracle cream available to get rid of cellulite dimples, orange peel skin, or fat deposits, you may be ready to just give up on those trouble spots. Well, before you do, make one final attempt at Justmelt®. A patented, motorized wand is used to stimulate blood circulation and fat reduction, and it reactivates the cells responsible for weight loss and youthful skin.

Don’t let your New Year’s resolution make you feel like a failure yet again. You simply need a little help, and that is exactly what you will get at Justmelt®!

18 Dec 13JustMeltBlogComments Off on Nonsurgical Procedures: More in Demand than Ever

Nearly everyone looks in the mirror and finds at least one flaw. However, for many of us, the thought of having a surgical procedure is not an option. Some are afraid of anesthesia and risks and others cannot afford the cost of cosmetic surgery. Yet, every year it seems as though the demand to strive for perfection increases. For this reason, the popularity of nonsurgical procedures has skyrocketed. Why wouldn’t someone want to fix what they dislike most, if it can be done safely and significantly cheaper than surgery?

Reverse Signs of Aging

At some point, everyone will look in the mirror and wonder where the time went. When did those fine lines and dark spots appear? Since no one has a fountain of youth and we are all constantly getting older, procedures to regain a more youthful appearance are extremely high in demand.

Toning

There has never been more of a demand for an ideal body weight. People want to be active and healthy, and of course, they want to look good. Unfortunately, sometimes losing weight, toning the body, and firming skin is impossible to accomplish no matter how hard we try. This is especially true once you hit a certain age. Your activity level may be higher, but if your metabolism has slowed down, you will still find yourself battling a few bulges, which can make you feel self-conscious.

Restored Confidence

The better you feel, the more confident you are meeting new people, and joining in with activities. Not to mention, self-confidence can affect job performance. In many job markets, it is hard to get ahead. There is so much competition that you have to have a special spark to stand out from the rest.

Nonsurgical procedures are more popular than ever because people are beginning to see the value in them. Not to mention, many procedures have been around a while now, so new patients are seeing results on others they know, proving they actually work!
